if the request is checked and is not authentic, 401 Unauthorized is returned and the app is not called.

options accepted (key may be string or symbol)

  • should_authenticate_check: a proc which should accept a rack env as an argument, and return true if the request should be authenticated; false if not. if the result from this is false, the request is passed to the app with no authentication performed.
